A Ported Shroud compressor is a feature that is incorporated into the compressor housing. It functions by allowing some airflow to exit the wheel through the port to keep surge from occurring. This provides additional useable range and allows a larger compressor to be used for higher flow requirements without risking running the compressor into a dangerous surge condition. The presence of the ported shroud usually has a minor negative impact on compressor efficiency.
Surge is commonly experienced when the throttle is quickly closed after boosting. This occurs because mass flow is drastically reduced as the throttle is closed, but the turbo is still spinning and generating boost. This immediately drives the operating point to the far left of the compressor map, right into surge.
Guys:
Please take a look at the following link and share your thoughts. Figure 2 allegedly shows compressor wheel damage from the "dirty air" in the area of the ported shroud of a compressor housing.

Anybody seen any of this take place? Patrick, please chime in if you read this. I have a Precision PT6776RHPS which is still in the box, new, and I'm now hesitant to install it with the ported shroud housing.
Any help will be appreciated.

Patrick:
Did you ever get a chance to test the H housing versus the HPS housing at the track?
Thanks,
JT
I would go for a 6265 bb if i were you or possibly even smaller. Running the 6776 at 16-18psi is a complete waste and will require way more converter than you should ever need for the intended performance level at those boost levels. Even at 22-23 psi on a 231 its not ideal. The 6776 with a .63 seems to have a lot of backpressure with a cammed and headed car when hitting 124-125mph too.Is there any benfit for me to get the ported shroud? This car is going to be street driven and the turbo will not be used to its full potential, max boost around 22 to 23psi occationally, but 16 to 18psi 99% of the time. I plan on using a L/U 3000 stall & a full 4" mafless cold air intake (maft pro). I was just trying to get the fastest spoolup with the least amount of stall because of the main purpose for the car in street driving.
Thanks,
Brad

+1 I'm curious to hear as well.
